This collection includes plants suited to high-humidity, low-airflow conditions—perfect for closed glass terrariums and miniature indoor ecosystems. Whether you're creating a mossy woodland scene, a lush jungle terrarium, or an aquatic-style display, these humidity-loving species have been selected for their compact size and terrarium suitability.
Terrarium Plants for Closed Environments
Terrariums create a stable, self-contained environment—ideal for specific types of plants that thrive with consistent moisture and filtered light. We grow and ship terrarium-suitable plants that are already adapted to indoor conditions, making them an excellent choice for enclosed set-ups like Bioloark, Bioscape, or custom DIY terrariums.
Which Plants Work Well in a Terrarium?
This collection includes species known for their compact growth, humidity tolerance, and slow development—important traits for thriving in glass containers. You’ll often find:
- Pinguicula (Butterworts): Carnivorous plants that enjoy high humidity and low airflow—perfect for closed systems.
- Begonias: Rhizomatous and compact species that bring colour and texture to terrarium displays.
- Shingling plants: Like Rhaphidophora hayi, ideal for growing up the walls of taller terrariums.
- Aquatic-turned-terrestrial plants: Including Anubias and Bucephalandra, which thrive in damp, enclosed conditions with moss and rockwork.
How to Care for Plants in a Closed Terrarium
Closed terrarium plants do best with filtered or indirect light, consistent humidity, and minimal disturbance. Use a moisture-retentive but well-draining substrate, and avoid overwatering to reduce condensation and mould. Most closed terrariums are low-maintenance once established, though occasional airing may be needed.
Indoor-Grown and Terrarium-Tested
All terrarium plants in this collection are grown indoors and acclimated to enclosed conditions. Our team selects these species based on real-world terrarium performance—so you can build a thriving mini environment with confidence.
We currently ship plants to VIC, NSW, QLD, SA and ACT only.
